<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 307136, member: 1674&quot;]&lt;VBG&gt; I am not offended.&nbsp; I was merely commenting on my experience.&nbsp; We receive a fairly large amount of email every day from people who click the &quot;Ask an Expert&quot; button on our website.&nbsp; One of my jobs is to answer a portion of those emails and my response was colored by that experience.</p><p><br /></p><p>We do a fairly good job of making our website available to someone trying to sell coins who knows nothing of coins via strategic placement with the search engines.&nbsp; At the risk of being accused of self promotion the amount of web traffic that our website receives on a daily basis, is greater than all other numismatic sites combined (independently verified), and the only other numismatic site that is worth mentioning is the PCGS site (based on their message boards and their set registry areas), though it is still tiny by comparison.</p><p><br /></p><p>The result is that we get a ton of email from people in the exact situation you describe (non-collectors and small-time collectors with a nice item or two who are inquiring as to value).&nbsp; These are usually people who are familiar with ebay, but beyond that usually have no other idea how to find a coin&#039;s value.&nbsp; As your poll stands right now eBay has the most votes and Heritage has the second and in my experience I would say that they are in the right order, but most newbies would be inclined to look on ebay first, the forum members just are more savvy than to go there as often as a non collector might.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
